Abstract: A system for forming a communication link between a first communications device and a second communications device includes a server configured to receive a call request from the first communications device. A virtual agent operating on the server is configured to (a) initiate a first outbound call to the first communications device in response to receiving the call request; (b) initiate a second outbound call to the second communications device; (c) form a first communications channel between the virtual agent and the first communications device; (d) form a second communications channel between the virtual agent and the second communications device; and (e) link the first communications channel to the second communications channel. An NLP engine and/or a learning engine are connected to the virtual agent. A method for forming a communication link between the first communications device and the second communications device utilizing the system is also disclosed.
